How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

We will from time to time compile player suggestion and have group discussion in our social media channel to get a pulse on what the community wants.

Although our high level direction of where the game is heading is clear, we also intentionally leave some room in our development plans content-wise for feedback on what units would enter the game.

Community Updates :

The weekly PvP Fest are getting more interesting as community are getting better at the game and the matches are showing a lot more variation in strategies.

In the midweek , we also organize DevMatch sessions; where some of the best members of the community will form a team to fight a team of the best developers. We usually stream these event on Facebook / Steam.
